(KAIR)--A Jackson County traffic stop that resulted in two-drug related arrests Monday evening led investigators to search a Holton residence where two additional arrests were made, along with the alleged seizure of drugs.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a release, says the stop was made for a traffic infraction, spotted by a deputy, at Arizona and Banner Road, around 6:30. A Sheriff's Office K-9 was used at the traffic stop, allegedly alerting to the presence of what Morse calls illegal drug contraband inside the Ford Windstar van.

Arrested on drug charges were the van's two occupants, 56-year-old Mary Johnson and 69-year-old Peggie Sierra, both of Holton.

The investigation that followed the arrests led deputies and Holton Police to serve a search warrant at 813 Wisconsin Avenue, in Holton, a residence where Johnson and Sierra were staying.

According to Morse, the execution of the warrant led to the seizure of what's alleged to be illegal drugs and contraband, as well as to two additional arrests, 35-year-old Joshua Johnson and 31-year-old Jeannine Jim, both of Holton.

All four of the residents arrested now face a wide range of similar charges, including aggravated endangering a child; expose to meth chemicals, possession of certain stimulant within 1000 feet of a school, possession of methamphetamine, possession of a hallucinogenic drug, possession of THC, possession of controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Once in custody, all four were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
